Hang In There. And Keep Trying.

I am in the same position as you....So I can't say that I can help much. My post is above.
We have to stop this. Not only does my body feel terrible...And probably will for a while....But I am terrified of what I may have done.
Over the last week, I have only b/p 3 times.....That is better.....
But something has to be done. I cannot live like this anymore. I was almost more happy when I was fat......
But now I am in a vicious cycle...Because I have bought all new clothes, and if I start gaining weight again, the rest of my family (my boyfriend already knows) will find out.....I can't have that.
I need to see a psychologist....Sounds like you do too.....
Please hang in there, and try to at least cut back or stop. That is all that we can do. I promise that I will if you do.
But trust that I know how you feel....And we can't let this go further.

Those are the hardest words you can ever say to yourself! "i'm a failure" everyone makes mistakes. We are human! I myself had an eating disorder. I'm 21 now, luckily with friends, family and doctors anything is possible!

Dont give up! You can do it!

Best of luck to yah!

Not a Failure
Posted: 02-07-06 12:04pm

You are not a failure! This is a problem many women face. Even myself. I was always very thin in hs I was only about 90 pounds. Then when I met my boyfriend and got older things change. I was a size 0 now im a 5 which is not bad but im trying to get back down to a 1 atleast. But my mom says I look healthy now and that I looked bad that skinny even my boyfriend says that im great the way I am but I just don’t see it. I have never been bulimic or anorexic but I have taken laxatives which may very well be a disorder but who really knows. I watch everything I eat I literally count the carbs and calories on everything I eat and I don’t know how to stop. What I really think you should do is talk to someone a counselor maybe. Im debating it myself but when you do these things to your body(vomit not eating) your destroying yourself. I hate that fact that women constantly have to watch everything they eat because we feel we need to look as good as women in holly wood like jessica simpson who’s supposedly 108 pounds which I doubt! She was 135 on newlyweds but whatever. I think all we can do is try to help each other. I have never met someone that was “ok” with how they look. Its crazy that I want to be as skinny as I was but I just cant stop. I myself don’t know what to do.

I know exactly how you feel..


Especially when you said that it is easier not to eat than to eat...

I feel like I can go a long time without eating..And I feel great..But when it comes time to eat..And people make me eat..Even if it's just a snack..I won't stop..Once I start..I can't have one sandwich..I have to have 6..It's insane..

You're no freak..

It kills me that you say you are a failure. Like another person posted, we all make mistakes. I have made many.
Reality is that you will always have to stay on top of this and you will do good for a while and then some people fall back and a rare few do not. But no matter how many times you fall back into it, you can always get out of it again and try harder. You need support around your home/community.
About the failure thing. Even though we think or may think that our weight and problems are what determines who we are, they are not! These problems can control your actions and your physical appearance, but those things are not you.
I think that if you made a goal (even a fairly easy one) to reach in your life that does not have one thing to do with weight/appearance/food/cutting etc. That you will see that you can be successful inspite of your more serious problems. Find a place you want to go, a sport you want to try, an instrument to play, scrapbooking or other crafts, volunteer to help other people with their problems, anything that will let you see that the world is much bigger and that you are much better than your problems. Yes you will still have problems and you will still have crappy mins. Hours, days, or weeks, but you may help someone else in the process. Good luck

i feel just like this, if I start eating I get incontrolled and eat eat eat eat non-stop, and then... :\ I feel horrible for some reasons... One, because i'm hurting people who dearly love me and like me for who I am, and two because I don't like me but I see people who can appreciate themselves without this guilt...

Identified
Posted: 03-07-06 13:22pm

Voodoocita, I know you identified with "brokeninsidex" but I just wanted you both to know that I feel like you can't appreciate yourselves because you are identifing yourself as your disease. You are not your problems. If you have failed at being a "good" bulimic or anorexic then you have actually succeeded in life!!! You are not suppose to feel good about hurting yourself. Anyway, I hope you both figure out that you can be and do so much if you don't focus on the bad stuff as much. I do know that it is hard and I do understand. I just thought that you two were way to depressed to not hear a little good news!

It was just so hard to me to see and to accept i'm a bulimic.
Mks, reading your words, I actually got aware that I was the first person to admit that I am ill. I feel depressed for various reasons, even this morning, before coming to college. I ate one and a half bread and some cookies... I ate them just for eating, because I saw them on the table... :(
it's this that I wanna stop doing, because one leads to the other. If I can control myself, I know i'll stop throwing up, i'm sure. So, why can't I just control myself?

Brokeninsidex, I used to be a bulimic in a different way last two or three years - not eating at all. I fainted on the bus a few times, but I just felt it was ok. Now, my problem is to accept food in an appropriate way - not overeating nor not eating at all.

Tomorrow i'm going to the doctor. I asked one of my best friends to go with me (she knows what is going on) so that i'll have to tell everything - I mean everything about throwing up, not eating, overeating, the incontrol,... - that I didn't tell when I went there.

Yesterday afternoon something strange happened to me. My first name is not a common name, so you don't find a lot of gifts with it. I once found a thing to hand on a door and then my sister found some door-keys in london, but both were ugly :$
so, yesterday, when I got home after school and hoaxing, she came to me and said "look what i've got for you, look what i've found" and gave me a pretty door-keys with my name on it. On the reverse side it has written "you are determined person who manages to accomplish what you define as your goals with your own will".
I just can't stop thinking about this. They don't know about my disease, but this sentence just feels right here, because I want to be good again. That is what I have to believe in - that I can do it.
